Made it to Revelstoke

August 15 – I was pretty sure Bill had a good night as he was still sleeping like a rock when I got up.  When he got up he said he didn’t have a twitch all night and slept well but was feeling a little sluggish.  I think the fix for that is to take the pill around 8 as in a couple of hours it was worn off and he was fine.  So we will see how it goes from here!

We hit the road around 9 for Revelstoke, BC.  Actually, our campground is Canyon Hot Springs about 25 miles east of the city.  It was another foothills driving day and we passed so many lakes again!  Today though there were a lot on the right side for a change.  We started in the foothills and then into steeper uphill and down roads as we were now in the Canadian Rockies.  There were a lot of passing lanes and you can be sure all the cars were taking full advantage of passing us ASAP.  We are on Canada 1 which is the Trans Canada Highway.  You’d think it could be 4 laned but I guess with the water and the mountains it’s not a possibility.

We had considered stopping at a big rest area on the way in and leave the RV while we went to the pharmacy and grocery store.  We missed the location and so we drove on to the campground.  We were pleasantly surprised to have a full hook up pull thru!  Yea!  It’s pretty nice and level and with full hook ups we could not be happier! 

We set up, turned the AC on and headed into town.  First stop was the pharmacy where we found that the script was not dated and they would not fill it without confirmation.  So we left it with the pharmacy so contact the hospital etc.  We went to the grocery for some produce and I went in the Dollar Store for a couple of birthday cards then we checked out the gift shop in downtown.  We were running low on Canadian money and the first one didn’t exchange unless you had an account, the second one was closed by the time I got there and the 3^rd one had the same account required rule, but they did have an ATM that I could use and it charged me $3.50 for the transaction.  But, we’re back in the money!!

Bill went back to the pharmacy and was able to get his pills and the doctor had also said he was low in calcium and magnesium so we got vitamins for him as well. 

We drove a bit around the town and then headed back to the RV.  It was time to get some supper going so I put together a meatloaf and baked it with a half of white potato and half of a white sweet potato.  While they baked I peeled some carrots and just cooked them in water and was surprised that Bill really enjoyed them.  My favorite part of the meal was my white sweet potato.  Very yummy!

After dinner we took a walk around the park and took our garbage to the containers.  It was a bit chilly out and there were those darn mosquitoes so we didn’t stay out too long.

Time to read a while and watch Bill do the dishes!
